Hi Linda,
I want to mention something that could be meaningful to you.
Ages ago, I heard an ad on the radio about disability and
epilepsy. I had never heard such a thing, and have not heard
it again either. I applied for disability and it took awhile
after with forms and necessary appointment for more forms, but
it went through positive and I got disability check for at least
20 years, then I was social-security age, so it just changed to
regular medicare check. Since I had been getting the other check
for so long, it was considerably higher than it would have been
since I did not work since getting married in 1968. I went for
the brain surgery and it was covered under disability. If by
chance you have not efforted this yet, you might take the time and
look into it. It was really worth it to me. Good luck.

> doris, I am on Keppera and Zonagran and Citalopram for depression. Maybe I did not tell you that but I have been. But they are still not controlled and if I take more meds. it makes no difference either. We have no insurance so having surgery could not be an option for me anyway. Vagus nerve stimulator did not work for me either back when we did have insurance. I only have seizures a few times a month and the amount also depends on my stress levels. Linda H.
